I had an engine (recent rebuild K321) turn into a "bug fogger" with 10W-30 in Massachusetts years back.
I switched back to 30W and never changed to multi weight in an air cooled again. If the engine is doing only only light duty (snow blade) AND you remember to switch back to 30W when it gets above 32 deg. F., it is OK

I use 10w 30 in the winter. Been using that for a long time and never had any bug fogger problems. I use 15w40 Rotella in the summer with no problems. Kohler manual has the specs for what oil to use in different climates. If you keep it in a heated garage 30w would be ok.

I run 10W-30 in the winter time and I have had NO problems. This is what Kohler recommends.

I've been using Shell Rotella 15W-40 year round in a few of mine, as they don't get used more than 8 hours a year, which would amount to a lot of seasonal oil changes. They still start easy in the winter and don't burn it that quickly in the summer.

Running these tractors for light duty, oil weight does not matter, multi weight oil is great.
The recommendations of multi weight oil should be used with the understanding of what you are putting in the engine. 10W-30 is 10 weight oil. 15W-40 is 15 weight oil. Period. The oils have modifiers in them that can variably "thicken" the oil as the temperature goes up. The thickeners are very effective up to a certain temperature, designed and perfectly acceptable for WATER cooled engines. Above this certain temperature the thickeners fail, and, the oil reverts back to 10 weight (or 15 weight). This is what happens in a air cooled engine under a normal load. The engine operates above the thickeners temperature capability. You will be running your engine on 10W oil!! The engine manufacturers state 30W for a reason. They want your engine protected when under normal load conditions. Run the oil you want, mine get 30W. IMHO

Mine set outside unprotected year around. they all get straight 30 weight (Amsoil if my dealer can get it ,straight weight Amsoil is hard to get). I have never had a problem with them turning over and starting. True, they may turn slow but the always go.
Was 19 degrees here the other day. The 1211 started up just fine.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
